Happy Wednesday! Avocado Toast on sourdough with vegan @kitehillfoods almond milk ricotta, truffle salt, Everything But The Bagel Seasoning, radish sprouts, and a drizzle of olive oil. Some say boring; I say classic 🥑
This photo of me was taken last Thanksgiving when I was hiking with my mom in my hometown of Thousand Oaks. I have felt so uneasy this whole week thinking about all the devastation in my community, first starting with the shooting at one of the most popular bars in our town and then the fires that forced my family and others to evacuate — and many to lose their homes. I’m so grateful that my family and loved ones are safe and alive, and thankfully our house was spared. But others were not so lucky in other tragedies, and that hurts me. I feel slightly guilty for feeling so affected by these events even though I myself have not suffered direct loss, but I’ve been anxious this whole week picturing all these things happening in the place I grew up and call home. All my life I wanted to escape to somewhere more exciting. I jumped at the chance to move to NYC after highs school and would always complain about how slow Thousand Oaks was when I spent time at home with my family and parents. But now I’m sad and nostalgic for my hometown and it’s peacefulness, small-town feel, vast open mountains, and its exceptional safety. I thank my lucky stars that my family and friends are okay, but my heart goes out to everyone affected by the Borderline shooting, the LA fires, and the fires up north that have claimed too many lives 😢
Woa, Thanksgiving is creeping up fast. This has been one of my most popular holiday recipes, so I’m bringing it back: Thanksgiving Lemon Garlic Kale Salad with Ginger-Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Cranberries, Pecans, Parmesan Cheese, and Breadcrumbs. Full recipe up on the blog — link in bio! . I’m feeling motivated to do some more holiday recipes this year, so let me know what kind of food you want to see!! Traditional holiday recipes made healthy or just creative new ideas?
Breakfast Tostada with mashed avocado, sautéed kale and mushrooms, a fried pasture-raised egg, lemon yogurt sauce, radish sprouts, Everything But The Bagel Seasoning, and Crushed Red Pepper. . I used a @sietefoods almond flour tortilla, and to make the yogurt sauce, I just mixed together Greek yogurt, lemon, and olive oil. . Produce from @milkandeggscom! If you live in LA or OC you can get it delivered to your house directly! Use code CARINA for $15 off $30 or more
Aching to get back into the kitchen, but until then, I’m going to leave you with this Avocado Toast with Kale Walnut Pesto, Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, Almond Milk Ricotta (@kitehillfoods), Hemp Seeds, and Black Pepper. Pesto recipe below! . Kale Walnut Pesto (same as kale cashew pesto recipe, just subbed walnuts) - 1 cup kale leaves - 1/2 cup basil leaves - 2 tablespoons raw walnuts - 1 teaspoon miso paste (or 1 clove garlic) - Juice of 1 medium lemon - 2 tablespoons olive oil
I am sad today. I didn’t feel like making lunch, but my body was craving warm nourishing foods, so I made this Vegan Rice and Kale Bowl with Roasted Squash, Lentils, Sunflower Sprouts, Avocado, Cherry Tomatoes, Hemp Seeds, and @sietefoods Queso. Prepping this meal took me away from my stress for a second, and I think my body will thank me for these nutrients. . I get upset every time one of these shootings happen, but this one hits extra close to home because it IS home. I grew up in Thousand Oaks. Everyone I know has been to Borderline at least once. I don’t want to make this about me because it’s not. It’s about the victims of this tragedy. But I can’t help but to feel in extreme shock and disbelief that this happened where I grew up 😥❤️ I truly can’t wrap my head around it. Sending love to everyone
Poached Eggs with my Creamy Kale Cashew Pesto, White Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Honey (@mikeshothoney), and Black Cherry Tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and za’atar (and of course Everything But The Bagel Seasoning)
#ad Roasted Fall Veggies with Lemon Skyr Sauce and Za'Atar. In this bowl, we've got roasted carrots, sweet potatoes, radishes, fennel, red onion, and the sauce is made with @icelandicprovisions skyr mixed with lemon juice. To make the veggies, just spread on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, baking for about 25 min at 425. To make the sauce, mix about 1/4 cup Icelandic Provisions skyr with the juice of 1 large lemon. . For those who haven't tried skyr before, it is an Icelandic dairy product much like yogurt. Each cup of Skyr has about 15-17 grams of protein, which makes it a good snack or addition to a meal. If you make something using skyr, be sure to share the recipe using #FallForSkyr ! #IcelandicProvisions
